The land is fabulous! Are you goi...You are right. The land is fabulous! Are you going to sell the house in a few years? Or tear it down? Those answers will help determine how much money to put into the house.<br /><br />If you are going to sell the house, I would try to update it a bit so you can sell it more easily.<br /><br />The house would look fabulous with painted brick in a khaki color with dark shutters and fixtures.<br /><br />I would level out the brick columns at the entryway to the height of the surrounding wall. This will make the entryway more inviting. <br /><br />It's amazing what a spray gun and five gallons of neutral paint can accomplish. Plus new flooring. I know its expensive but paint and new flooring can update a house quick. <br /><br />The bath with double sinks- I would replace the hanging fixture. Then change out the counter with either a tile or laminate. <br /><br />I would demo the faux rock wall or paint it out. <br /><br />Have you thought of adding a butcherblock top to the bar in the kitchen? Or concrete? Then maybe painting the cabinets another neutral shade and add a white subway tile backspash? You might be able to spray paint the hinges and handles a dark brown color. <br /><br />I think not a whole lot of money would go along way to making the home feel more comfortable for you. <br /><br />Good Luck!kickymarciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209165277332055204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400752516319094720.post-33836523505973884772011-06-06T19:29:38.309-07:002011-06-06T19:29:38.309-07:00what GORGEOUS land!!!
